The tie is of little importance to England, who will still make it into the last-16 as long as they do not lose by four goals, which seems unlikely.
As a result, England will be turning their attention towards the last-16, where one of the Netherlands, Senegal or Ecuador await.
Should England put in a display similar to the one that saw them draw 0-0 with the USA on Friday, a last-16 exit seems likely.
England were awful in attack with Mason Mount especially poor in his central role. Despite Mount’s display, Gareth Southgate refused to bring on Foden in a central position as he does not play there for Manchester City, ignoring the fact that Mount has spent a good chunk of his Chelsea career as one of the wide options in a 3-4-3.
Now, Wayne Rooney has sent a message to Gareth Southgate, urging him to start Foden on Tuesday:
“I found it very strange that Foden did not come on as a substitute against the USA,” he wrote in The Times. “Technically, he is the best footballer England have.
“I think if you have a talent like Foden, you simply have to play him. He is now a different player from the one we saw at Euro 2020, when he struggled to make an impact. He is more mature and came into this tournament on the back of a long period of brilliant performances for Manchester City. He has the form to go with the ability.
“If I were him, I would be very frustrated that I didn’t get on the pitch at any stage of Friday’s game.”
